dchanges-3.3 comments and patch



Hi all!
here is the patch for dchanges-3.3, it's a simple typo.
without it, dchanges refuses to add the Files: section
if no .tar.gz file is included.

   fi
 
   # output files
-  if [ -n "${TAR_FILE}${DIFF_FILE}${UNK_FILES}" ]
+  if [ -n "${TAR_FILE}${DIFF_FILE}${UNK_FILES}${DEB_FILES}" ]
   then
     # figure out section
     if [ -z "$SECTION" ]
--------------------------------------------------------------

so the upload procedure is (corrected and simpliefied):
 - build binary package
 - run dchanges *.deb
 - edit the changes file, so that the maintainer field 
   shows your name and adress. this field is (in the .changes
   file) a misnomer, a better name would be Signed-by: or
   Built-by:
 - rename the changes file from *.changes to *.m68k.changes 
 - upload them to the intel upload area.

i've uploaded (without signing the .changes file)
   dpkg-1.2.3elf.m68k.changes
   dpkg-1.2.3elf.m68k.deb
   dpkg-1.2.3elf.m68k.nondebbin.tar.gz
to chiark.chu.cam.ac.uk (to use chiark cd to /pub/debian/private/project/ 
and read the README.how-to-upload) and will tell you what'll happen.

ciao
jjm
